After many twists and turns, Wen Jin finally saw her patient.
The Queen Mother was lying there with a sad face, her face was sallow, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were grayish-green.
Her hands seemed to be pressed just below her heart.
"The Queen Mother, Princess Huai is here." Aunt Gong said softly.
Wen Jinfu said: "Bless the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother lazily raised her eyelids and hummed indifferently.
After observing her complexion, Wen Jin already made a preliminary judgment, and she pointed at the Queen Mother's pulse again.
"Has the Queen Mother had any symptoms of belching, acid reflux, heartburn, nausea, or vomiting recently?" Wen Jin asked the nanny, "You can't swallow food, but you can vomit it out even if you barely eat a little bit?"
"Yes, yes!" Aunt Gong nodded repeatedly.
"This is what you have heard, right?" The Queen Mother hummed, "The most uncomfortable thing for the Ai family is the heartache."
Wen Jin lifted the thin quilt and pressed the bottom of the Queen Mother's heart, "Does it hurt here?"
"pain!"
"What about here?"
"It hurts too!"
"Then here..."
"It hurts, it hurts...it hurts so much!" The Queen Mother looked painful and stared suddenly, wishing to bite her.
Wen Jin nodded, "So, this is the real pain point. Because the upper abdomen is too close to the heart, pain in the upper abdomen can easily be mistaken for heart pain."
The Queen Mother snorted angrily...
The imperial doctor would not dare to touch her like this!
The hands of the pregnant princess are too cruel!
"Preliminary judgment is that the Queen Mother is suffering from epigastric pain." Wen Jin thought for a while, and there are many names for gastric ulcer in Chinese medicine, and this is the more accurate name.
"But the doctors said it was 'truly painful'." Aunt Gong said hesitantly.
Wen Jin pulled Caiju over, pointed at her and said: "The stomach is here, the heart is here, and below the heart is the entrance to the stomach called the cardia. Because it is so close, it is easy to confuse epigastric pain with real heart pain."
Even in modern medicine, there are cases where gastric ulcers are misdiagnosed as coronary heart disease.
The imperial doctors were very cautious when treating patients, and they couldn't get their hands dirty like she did. Misdiagnosis was too normal.
"Ouch, it hurts..." The Queen Mother curled up and moaned, "First, give the pain relief to Aijia!"
Grandma Gong felt sorry for her master, and her eyes were red, "The imperial doctor prescribed the medicine, but the queen mother vomited after taking it. Look, how many days has it been? Master has lost a lot of weight!"
Wen Jin thought that if Mrs. Shen hadn't mentioned her before, the emperor would have known that her medicine was good.
When the Queen Mother couldn't bear it anymore, she would still ask the imperial doctor or medical woman to give the injection.
"You can get an acupuncture or you can take medicine," Wen Jin said calmly. "Acupuncture will hurt your skin and flesh, but the effect is quick. Taking medicine is easy, but it takes at least one stick of incense to get the effect."
"Who said medicine is easy?" The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes, tears welling up in her painful eyes, "The Ai family is suffering from taking medicine."
"If you can make Aijia take medicine easily... not to mention one stick of incense, Aijia can tolerate three sticks of incense! In terms of future treatment, Aijia will all listen to you!"
Wen Jin wanted to laugh after hearing this.
how? You invited her here and you don't plan to listen to her?
But she doesn't have the same understanding as an elderly person who is sick.
"It's a deal." Wen Jin asked Caiju to bring the medicine box, "These are honey pills for pain relief. Chew them up and drink them with warm water or rice wine. Grandma can light incense and time it."
"Empress Dowager, we have agreed that the pain will stop within a stick of incense, and you must obey me regarding the treatment!"
"The Ai family keeps their promises, but they can still lie to you! Hmph!" The Queen Mother snorted, "If this medicine also makes the Ai family vomit, the Ai family will beat you up!"
Cai Ju stood aside and couldn't help but curl her lips.
You are begging for treatment, but you still have to fight? No wonder the imperial doctors and medical women were afraid to avoid him.
"Okay." Wen Jin agreed with a smile.
Look how calm she is.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but have a little more confidence in her.
"This medicine... why does it look like this?" The Queen Mother looked at the big black ball-like sesame ball with a look of resistance.
"The pills made with honey are different from those taken by decoction. Although the essence of decoction is boiled out, how can there be no residue on the dregs?"
"Honey pills are made by grinding the medicine into powder and adding honey. It not only tastes good, but is also easy to absorb and transport."
The Queen Mother was doubtful and waited on her, taking such a small bite...
Huh?
Her eyes lit up, this medicine was different from anything she had ever taken before!
It actually has a light floral and fruity aroma, a bit like fragrant tea.
The Queen Mother followed with a big bite.
Auntie Gong was still worried that it would be difficult to feed such a big honey pill...
Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother finished the meal in three mouthfuls.
She tasted it with endless aftertaste. How did it feel like taking medicine? I didn’t even enjoy eating snacks that much.
Grandma Gong brought warm rice wine.
The Queen Mother swallowed a few sips of wine and immediately felt that the pain in her heart was relieved a lot.
She glanced at Wen Jin suspiciously...it must be an illusion! Yes, it’s an illusion!
Before the stick of incense had finished burning, she felt that her heart no longer hurt at all.
Still under the quilt, she quietly stretched out her hand and pressed it... Weird, it really doesn't hurt anymore?
No, she couldn't let Princess White be too proud... She would say later that it still hurt a little! Much lighter, but not completely gone…
Well, that's it...
The Queen Mother was determined not to let Wen Jin be proud.
But she didn't expect that she couldn't hold on any longer... her eyes went from fighting to falling asleep completely in just a moment.
"Oh my god... the Queen Mother is asleep!" When the palace maid saw this, she excitedly recited "Amitabha, thank you for your blessing" several times.
Wen Jin was not surprised that the painkillers also had medicinal properties to soothe the nerves and promote sleep.
The Queen Mother has been in constant pain recently, has nausea and vomiting, and cannot eat, so she must not have had a good rest.
"The Queen Mother will probably sleep for more than an hour. It's time to prepare the medicine for epigastric pain." Wen Jin said, "Please give me directions to where to cook the medicine."
Aunt Gong looked at her again at this time, her eyes were eager and grateful.
Princess Huai was able to put the Queen Mother to sleep peacefully so easily... She felt more and more that the people in the Queen Mother Hospital were not willing to do their best.
"If the princess needs any medicinal materials, the old slave will order someone to go to the imperial pharmacy to get them. There is a small kitchen in Renshou Palace, and the decoction is usually there."
The palace maid thought that Wen Jin would order the maids and maids to do the work.
Unexpectedly, she ordered Caiju to follow the palace servants. When getting the medicine, she actually washed her hands, rolled up her sleeves, and prepared the pot, honey, etc.
"The princess actually wants to do it herself?" Grandma Gong was surprised again.
Siqin's short-sightedness offended Princess Huai... He never thought that Princess Huai had a big personality and was not as knowledgeable as Siqin.
"Honey pills are easy to take, but the production process is much more delicate than decoction. If my grandfather were here..."
Wen Jin paused and smiled, "It is safer for me to take control of the medicine for the Queen Mother."
Aunt Gong was deeply blessed and felt ashamed and moved.
"If the princess needs anything, just give her orders. I will go to the Queen Mother to serve you."
